4th Of July Fun
















































We had a very busy and fun 4th of July this year. First we celebrated with the Glasgow family at the family reunion. Several family members were in from Indiana. Halle and Syd love playing with their cousins from Indiana because they are close in age to them. A nice breeze was blowing but it was still hot! Carlee and Kalee were tired and enjoyed their afternoon nap under a shade tree. They were passed around all day. Halle and Syd love watermelon and enjoyed eating it and getting the juice all over them. I haven't been brave enough to let the twins try any yet. Soon they will get to try some.
That evening we went to Breanna's 8th birthday party. Thankfully both gatherings were in Newhope so it was easy for us to attend both. Halle and Syd enjoyed the party bouncing in the bounce house and swimming in the pool. Several of their friends were there so they had a big time. Newhope has a great fireworks show and we were able to watch them from the backyard. This was Carlee and Kalee's first time seeing fireworks since they were still in the hospital last year. Kalee loved them and watched bright eyed the entire time. Carlee slept through the first half but woke up after a loud boom from one. She didn't seem to mind the noise either. Syd on the other hand hates the noise! Her ears are sensitive ever since she had tubes put in her ears. She liked watching them but did so with her ears covered the entire time. Halle loved them and screamed with the other girls after each one. She kept saying how pretty they were.
What a great 4th we had the year surrounded by friends and family!
